Force by Nana Malone and Minx Malone: Release Blitz + Review

I am the shadow that haunts the night. I am a hunter, a protector...a
force for good...I am Jonas Castillo.

For years I’ve existed on the edge of the dark, protecting innocents
who can’t protect themselves. Until… her. Jessica JJ Jones. The bane of my existence.
A bright light in the dark. The crack in
my armor. A loud, argumentative beautiful crack in my armor.

But first, there’s a more immediate concern. JJ is running scared. And
to protect her I might have to break the vow I made years ago.

I absolutely love when an author creates a series that keeps all characters from previous books (and series) and then gives each a story. This was the story of Jonas and JJ (Jessica Jones). JJ is loud, crass and vulgar. However, she is just that sexy spitfire that we all love. Jonas has been on Noah's security team and without realizing it, had been head over heels for JJ since the day that he laid eyes on her. He is hot and can dress to the nines. Fashion is something that he and Jessica heave in common.

When they each decide to give it a shot at love, JJ's past starts to rear its ugly head. She has kept her secrets to herself, not even allowing her best friend Lucia in the loop. JJ is strong and felt that she could handle her own, until she couldn't. With Jonas and the rest of the security team family, they will see to it that she is safe. However, the ending gave me such goose bumps. I'm going to need the next book in the series, to find out what happened ...STAT!!

Force is the first book in the series, although if you would like to meet the rest of the team and fall in Iove like I did, go ahead and pick up the Shameless series by this power duo. Trust me, you will thank me for the recommendation. Enjoy!!

The elevator doors slid open and Jonas stepped
into the entryway. It was dark and quiet, the only sound coming from the
direction of Matthias’s room. That kid never slept no matter what time of day
it was, but he also didn’t ask questions. So he was off the hook.
Then he stepped into the living room and was confronted with a tight, toned ass
in skintight leggings.

All the parts of him that had been asleep fired to life. Jonas sucked in a deep
breath as JJ shifted her position at the window, the globes of her ass bouncing
slightly with the movement. His dick tried to follow her. It should have
been a welcome diversion. Hell, at least he wasn’t depressed and feeling the
sting of failure anymore. But this was JJ. The woman lived to torment him. So
as spectacular as that ass was, it was the last thing he wanted to see in the
middle of the night coming off a tough case.

“Why are you still awake?”

It came out harsher than he’d intended, but there was no need to apologize. JJ
didn’t offend easily, probably because she thrived on insults and could throw
out verbal daggers with the best of them. As he’d expected, she merely turned
her head slightly to acknowledge his presence before turning back to the night
sky, dismissing him.
“Why can’t you mind your own business?” she asked in a deceptively sweet voice.

Never mind that just a few moments ago, Jonas had wanted nothing more than to
climb into bed without having to engage anyone. Now he stepped farther into the
room, instinctively drawn to her. There was just something about Jessica Jones
that he could not resist. It was sick in a way, but he got off on fighting with
her. That smart mouth and those killer curves were the perfect combination to
make his dick hard while simultaneously pissing him off.

It was a heady combination.

“What would be the fun in that?” Jonas asked, speaking truthfully.
She turned from whatever it was that was holding her attention outside and eyed
him with a sneer. “I would ask if you had a hot date but that’s doubtful.
Jackasses really aren’t in this season.”

Now that hurt. “Women love me.”

She sniffed and slid him a sidelong glance. “Frankly, I don’t see the appeal.
But then again there are people who like candy corn and peeps. There’s really
no accounting for taste…or lack thereof.”
“Hey! Candy corn is awesome.” Jonas might have to rethink his taste in women if
she was dogging on candy corn. How could you not enjoy something that was pure
high-octane sugar? “You’re probably just too bitter to enjoy it.”

Her eyes flashed and for a moment there was something behind the look that made
him regret his choice of words. “Too bad for you, you’ll never have a taste.”
Her words carried a hint of hurt with them and he wanted to bite off his
tongue.

They snarked at each other and played fast and loose with their words, but he
would never actually want to hurt her. It bothered him that he even could. In
his mind, JJ was as invincible as her comic book character namesake, and
finding a chink in her armor was both disturbing and endearing.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean anything by that.”

“Whatever. You’re probably right. I’ll leave the sweetness to you. I just
happen to like my men a little bit…stronger with a hint of a bite.

Same way I
like my whiskey.”
